The whole ET topic makes no sense to me because why would God even need to make ET’s after he created humans in his image and likeness and angels and all the other animals.

If there are ET’s they would be animals(I don’t believe there is) and we humans would have dominion over them(genesis 1) like all the other animals that might even show up on earth.

Saint Thomas Aquinas said the following brilliantly since it makes NO sense for intelligent life beyond this earth to exist in a form equal to man

“no agent intends a material plurality as an end; because a material multitude does not have a fixed term, but of itself tends to infinity; infinity, however, is contrary to the notion of ‘end’. When it is said, however, that many worlds are better than one, this is said according the material multitude. This sort of better, however, does not belong to the intention of God as agent, because for the same reason it could be said that if he made two, it would be better that there were three; and thus ad infinitum.”-Saint Thomas Aquinas

I wonder if people who believe in intellectual ET’s that are not animals believe that Christ came to the ET planet to die for them like he did us?

[Quix]

I don’t.

I believe that Christ died once and for all—for those of mankind to rule and reign with Him

AND

for ALL CREATION

WHICH YEARNINGLY DESPERATELY GROPINGLY URGENTLY EXPECTS THE MANIFESTATION OF THE SONS OF GOD—evidently to help deliber it from the grip of sin and sin’s pollutions and deadliness.

I myself don't believe that extraterrestrials exist. Over the years I've come to the opinion that any extraterrestrials we might encounter will likely be either a) human beings that were somehow "separated" from us here on earth, or b) "wise beasts" -- that is, animals with reason but without conscience.

I suspect that in time we will find lower forms of life (e.g. bacteria, amoebæ, etc.) upon the various planets and moons of our own solar system; however, these will in my estimation almost certainly be organisms native to Earth which have traveled through space to our sister worlds by mean of meteoric impact debris and which have over time become adapted to their new environments.

Of course, to date we have no evidence that life of any kind exists elsewhere in the universe.

As for UFOs: I'm almost certain that the genuine sightings are of advanced-technology aerospacecraft of human origin, created by and operated on behalf of a power group or groups that exist "behind the scenes" (i.e. outside of the ostensible power structure).
